I can't get the stapler to cycle, what air pressure settings are used & any suggestions
38637
Ours works fine out of the box... we have run about a box of 3/8" fasteners through it - takes a huge amount of air - really large piston. Running at 100 psi plus. We did put a clip of fasteners in upside down and they just slammed the wood instead of going in, so make sure the sharp edges are down! We oil our air. Hope this helps. Useful tool but we do not use it every day.

We run our compressors to cycle between 115psi off and 95psi on,have not had any problems yet ,keep it lubricated

I usually run my compressor at 90-100 lbs, and make sure the staples are sharp side down. Good luck!

I returned that as soon as I tried it because, after the first shot it would not work. The spring would bend and not allow it to cycle. After the first shot, we did take the spring out, straighten it, then shot it again, but the spring bent again causing the safety to not allow it to shot again. I told the seller what was wrong with it and I returned it. If you are having the same problem then I imagine they did not correct the shabby spring with a stronger one.

I think you need an adapter to make it work but couldn't find any information on your particular stapler sorry.

It is pretty noisy, but it only makes noise intermittently. The (relatively small) tank is pressurized by the compressor to something like 150 psi, then the compressor turns off till the tank pressure goes down (with use) to the set pressure, say 120 psi, then it turns on again to raise the tank pressure to 150. So if you're using the stapler heavily, the compressor will turn on frequently, but when you're not, it will be quiet. Overall. I think the unit is good quality.

Hold the stapler firm against the project. First check that you have it filled correctly with the right size staples.

1st of all, do NOT takle it apart. put on safety glasses, unload staples (same as you load them) dig out stuck staple in end. wolla. Whatever it was you tried to staple might be too hard or thick. Jerry

In mine, I can only load 10 staples at a time or the magazine won't close. Not designed very well if it can't take a whole strip of standard staples.

To load the stapler, you will need to push the endcap at the back and it will loosen from the spring loaded maganism. Pull it out and load the staples.

I'd look at a different model of heavy duty stapler. This particular model jams with my every use. I'd spend ten more dollars, and get something that works. Mine will be visiting the recycling bin soon enough.

sorry you're having that problem. I'm not. first make sure you have the right staples. I had to buy them from Munix cause any other staples did not work and min jammed, too. Hope this helps. It's a wonderful stapler if you use it right and a very good price. otherwise Perhaps you need to send it back.

I experienced no problems with the gun firing multiple staples on my entire project. Worked like a champ for me. Good luck!

Step 1: Set the stapler on a desk with the swingline logo facing up and the back of the stapler facing you. Step 2: Remove the broken button if it hasn't already fallen off. It's the part at the back of the stapler. Step 3: Locate the screw on the top, back of the stapler and identify a small horizontal bit of metal right below the screw. Step 4: Slide the screw driver between the bits of plastic that were to hold the button and lay it just above the horizontal bit of metal. Press down toward the desk. This should cause the staple-plank to pop out at the front of the stapler. Step 5: Lay the staples on the plank and push it back into place. Step 6: Staple away.

Out of the box - stapler jammed - unable to repair. Correct staples. Returned for refund. This item has problems.

Loading staples wasn't intuitive for me either. Look on YouTube for the guy having his 4 yr old demo the proper way. It is simple.Hint. Turn stapler bottom up, slide out the tray, then drop staples point-up into the body of the stapler, close it up. Voila.

There is a spring loaded lever on the back that you push in... then simply slide the bottom tray back and put the staples in their slot. I had no problem loading but it did start misfiring pretty badly after about 1000 staples (I had to keep opening the front and pushing the firing pin/hammer back up into the housing. Either bad luck for me or just a bad design). Good luck.

Simply push in red button on back of stapler and lift up slightly. Spring mechanism will push this piece out and you put staples in the rear of the devise. Reinsert the spring-loaded red piece, seat it and you are ready to do. Similar to many desk staplers

I have the same problem. After reading the previous answer, I will try his suggestion. Mostly I use it for quilting so do more up and down motion on seams rather than a lot of actual ironing.

I used a small rotary wheel and reduced the slope of the angle at which the staple comes out of the paper. It took several tries with intermediate testing to make sure of not doing too much. It now staples two pages just like the standard stapler. (I never found a way to reduce the impact force that would not destroy its use with up to 20-25 pages.)
